Hi,

We are trying to implement one way authentication using SSL between MQ Client and Server. We have our own PKI and security team installed Certs on all the Client machines. Does the SSL work without specifying key repository, taking the certificate from Windows standard location?

Clients and Servers are on Windows 2003.
MQ Version 6.0.2.5
Clients using C++ code

Thank You!!!

Location: US: west coast, almost. Otherwise, enroute.

Have you read the WMQ Security manual? Have you read up on SSL and keys? Have you searched google? Have you searched the InfoCenter?

Hi!
It's not described on any manual.
I've the same question.
Is it possible to get access with the MQC to the WIN internal cert store?
Normal way is to use the MQSSLKEYR environment variable.

@bruce: whats your meaning where it is described??

Many greets, Dirk

I'm sure that for non-java clients .kdb file has to be used to store CA Trust certificates and it is also mentioned in the manual as below:

"For a WebSphere MQ client, there is no default path or stem name. Choose a key database file to which you can restrict access. The extension must be .kdb"

But the problem here is i need to convince application folks that windows default location for certificates doesn't work with MQ Client.

How is it a problem to convince this of them?

The documentation says it won't work. Show them the documentation.
